On my previous post, I have written a tutorial on how to join Debian 8 Jessie to Windows Domain using manual way. Now, I want to show you how to join Ubuntu 15.04 to a Windows Domain using PBIS Open. By using PBIS Open package, joining an Ubuntu system to Windows Domain is easier. We don’t have to manually edit the conf files.

A. Download and install PBIS Open on Ubuntu 15.04

Open Terminal and use this command to download and install latest stable version of PBIS Open

[Service]Type=forkingEnvironmentFile=/opt/pbis/libexec/init-base.shExecStart=/opt/pbis/sbin/lwsmd –start-as-daemonExecReload=/opt/pbis/bin/lwsm refreshExecStop=/opt/pbis/bin/lwsm shutdown# We want systemd to give lwsmd some time to finish gracefully, but still want# it to kill lwsmd after TimeoutStopSec if something went wrong during the# graceful stop. Normally, Systemd sends SIGTERM signal right after the# ExecStop, which would kill lwsmd. We are sending useless SIGCONT here to give# lwsmd time to finish.KillSignal=SIGCONTPrivateTmp=true
